Students continue to work in social studies on our mini project. I look forward to seeing the finished products this Friday.

After creating a writer's EKG in class yesterday, students continued the process of generating story ideas today in writing. Students identified turning points in their lives which will serve as the basis of their upcoming narrative writing section. From talking in small groups with my students today, it appears as if I have some talented writers. I look forward to continuing this unit with my class.

Tomorrow in math, we will begin coming up with some pictorial stories to help us represent multiplication problems.

I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.



Homework

Math - third sheet in math packet

Reading - 30 minutes of quiet reading, blog post written on kidblog by Friday 9/19. Must be 8-10 sentences and answer this prompt: What is something that surprised you or that you found interesting? Explain why.

Social Studies - we continue to work on our mini project in class, but as always I would encourage students to look for additional information at home that they could then bring into class to supplement their work.

Planners will be checked on Friday




Trivia: This state became the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution on Dec. 7, 1787, and immediately went out and grabbed the nickname "The First State" to celebrate. Which state is it?
